I&#039;ve been battling depression for a long time. After about 20 years into the battle, I was prescribed Effexor. It worked fairly well, but wore off each day about mid afternoon. Then XR came out, and it worked a lot better. I began to have major depression symptoms again after about 2 years on XR and my Dr changed me to Pristique. Worked OK for about 7 months and the bottom dropped out again. My Dr switched me to Cymbalta 60 caps and it was almost a whole new world. Problem is, I don&#039;t...

Hi, my doctor prescribed me Effexor XR because of my anxiety and social anxiety issues, but after seeing all the negative reviews I am a bit worried about taking this medication. I was supposed to start this medication back in December, but I decided to see if I would feel better with time. I&#039;m back to the anxiety attacks. I am currently part of a very demanding college program (hence the reason why I have looked for help) and I am afraid it is going to affect it badly. She started me on...

			<title>Is Effexor XR 75mg an effective and safe alternative to Celexa 40mg?</title>
			<description><![CDATA[
I know that Celexa is an SSRI and Effexor is an SSNRI. So, another way to rephase what I&#039;m asking is what exactly is norepinephine and what is it&#039;s relation to serotonin?

			<description><![CDATA[
I have been taking Prozac mg to lower my Effexor XR from 112.5 mg to zero. In about 10 days, I am now taking half of the 75 mg pill which is not 37.5 mg yet... bead counting. I am starting to get some effects: headaches, digestive issue, libido and added anxiety (hate this). Should I increase Prozac before going down to 37.5 mg... either 15 mg or 20?

I have been on effexor XR for 9 years and have never really felt major relief. Sure at first when? things were at their darkest, Effexor was a god send but tried increasing last month but found the increasing was making my anxiety and racing thoughts worst. My doc is thinking to switching to another medication but I am &#039;&#039;scared&#039;&#039; since its always a gamble on the reaction, tapering off, waiting for the new meds to kick in. I cannot take time off work if I am not feeling well,...

I started taking brand name Effexor XR 150mg 5 years ago. About 2 years ago, the insurance company switched me to Aurobindo&#039;s version of venlafaxine ER at 150mg.

I started feeling panicky and depressed; I was also sweating like crazy. My doctor raised my dose to 300 mg. My mood hasn&#039;t picked up and I&#039;ve been seeing a psychologist. I believe...
